What's New for the 2026 Acura RDX?
No major changes have been added to the 2026 model year.
What Are the 2026 RDX Trims & Features?
Acura offers the RDX in five primary trim levels: RDX, RDX Technology, RDX A-Spec, RDX Advance, and RDX A-Spec Advance. The base RDX is among the segment's top values. It comes loaded with an impressive list of luxury features. Highlights include a 10.2-inch full HD center display with wireless smartphone connectivity, a panoramic moonroof, and power-adjustable heated front seats.
The Technology trim brings an additional number of premium features. While perforated Milano leather upholstery gives the interior a more upscale character, GPS-linked climate control further optimizes passenger comfort. Other upgrades include a 12-speaker premium audio system, Iconic Drive ambient LED cabin lighting, and 3D navigation.
Sportier bodywork and wider 20-inch wheels help the racier RDX A-Spec to stand out. On the inside, a flat-bottom steering enhances the cockpit's sporty nature. Niceties, such as ventilated front seats and a 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D sound system, are also included.
Equipped with an adaptive suspension, the RDX Advance offers enhanced handling and ride comfort. Some of this trim's high-end upgrades include a 10.5-inch head-up display, 16-way power-adjustable front seats, and a surround-view camera system.
Atop the lineup sits the RDX A-Spec Advance, which essentially combines the A-Spec and Advance trim levels. Exclusive 20-inch multi-spoke wheels further distinguish this range-topping trim.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 RDX Have?
Underneath the RDX's hood sits a 2.0-liter, turbo VTEC four-cylinder engine. It's rated to develop a stout 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters sends power to the wheels. Every trim also features Acura's torque-vectoring Super Handling AWD system, which aids the SUV's traction and cornering capabilities.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 RDX Include?
AcuraWatch, which is a collection of intelligent safety technologies, comes standard on every new RDX. When a potential frontal impact is sensed, the SUV's Collision Mitigation Braking System can automatically respond. Meanwhile, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow makes traveling on crowded roadways less stressful. Some of the other standard features include a Blind Spot Information System, Pedestrian Detection, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Lane Keeping Assist.
